One 30 tube panel should be sufficient for a house with 3 people (aprox 10 tubes per person, should provide 30% to 60% of the total yearly hot water. This will be aprox 100% in the summer and 30% or less in the winter.

If your cylinder is larger then it can be heated with more than one panel. It is possible to add an extra panel to an 80 gallon tank if you aim to benefit from higher temperatures in the wintertime but it must be deisgned for coping with any overheating that is likely to occure in the summer.
